You get a puppy after all the begging, finally, your parents cave. What if instead of seeing the puppies happy in a playpen running and jumping without a care in the world, you saw them from where they came. The cold, hard, truth is that most companies will get their puppies from licensed or unlicensed puppy mills. A puppy mill is a large breeding facility that uses females to produce new puppies every heat cycle, until they can no longer be produced. The puppy mills often inhumanely kill the mothers when they can no longer produce dogs. Breeders take the puppies away from their only comfort, their mother, to put them in a cage with often no solid surface.

shelter. Puppy mills should be banned because they put profit above the dog's needs, overlook genetic problems, and don’t care about the dogs shelter. Meanwhile, “ food 120-500$ per year” so the breeders do feed the dogs. Descriptively, I get why you think puppy mills are okay to be legal, but they do not feed the dogs an adequate amount,” The bottom line is that puppy mills are all about profits. Any money spent on veterinary care, quality food, shelter, or staff to care for the dogs cuts into the profit margin¨. In a different light, Puppy mills provide many puppies for our nation, “Roughly 90 percent of puppies in pet stores come from puppy mills.” (“Buyer Beware: The Problem with Puppy Mills and Backyard Breeders”). In contradiction, I know that puppy mills do provide puppies for the United States, but they often give dogs with genetic defects, “ The lineage records of puppy mill dogs are often falsified, and puppy mill dogs are often plagued with health problems.” (“A Closer Look at Puppy Mills”). Yet the breeders still argue that they provide “(...) hutches inside sheds (...)” (“What is a puppy mill”). Though the puppy mills do provide a shelter, they don’t provide a proper shelter, “In puppy mills, dogs live in small cages, often in the minimum legal size allowed (only six inches larger than the dog on all sides)(...)¨. In summary, puppy mills shouldn’t be legal because they don’t tend to shelter, they are unwilling to put dog needs above profits, and lastly puppy mills overlook genetic problems. So that puppy you want, get it from a breeder you know is safe and won’t harm your precious pup! Puppy mills will raise a puppy with behavioral problems that is definitely going to have a hard life because of how it was brought into this world. I believe now you should boycott puppy mills and avoid feeding them in their gruesome habits.
A puppy mill is a horrible place that breeds dogs. Dogs that are breedable may get little to no recovery time between pregnancies. Dogs and puppies are stuffed into wire cages that can harm them. Puppy mills tend to be overcrowded disease and virus filled places. Puppy mills focus on profit rather than the health of the dogs. Many dogs are bred with little regard of genetic quality. Dogs in puppy mills are deprived of veterinary care, food, water, and socialization. If a dog is older and unable to breed anymore they are likely to be killed. Some dogs may never see the light of day or get any attention.
How much is that doggy in the window? The one with the waggly tail? Well, if you knew where that puppy came from, you may think twice about purchasing the canine. Puppy mills have been around for over fifty years. (Madonna Of the Mills) In these mills, the people who are in charge of the dogs, also known as breeders, are breeding female dogs left and right. Not only are they breeding them every chance they get, but they are performing this task in very unsanitary conditions which causes serious health issues to these animals in the mills. While puppy mills can help people who want to find a breed of dog that is hard to find, puppy mills need to be terminated due to the puppies being mistreated and abused, the overpopulation
What is a Puppy Mill, How are animals being at Puppy Mills. Animals are being severely neglected by the owners. Responsible breeding practices end up killing. Animals get abused and usually are left to die with no food, water or even locked in a cage. Puppy mills are operating all over the U.S. After breeding for amount of times and don’t get time to recover and cant reproduce anymore are often killed off. Puppy mills usually house dogs in overcrowded and unsanitary conditions, without care, food, water and socialization. Puppy mill dogs do not get to experience treats, toys, exercise or basic grooming. To minimize waste cleanup, dogs are often kept in cages with wire flooring that injures their paws and legs- and it is not unusual for cages to be stacked up in columns.

A puppy mill is a place where people force dogs to reproduce in order to sell the pups to stores, people or anyone else who is willing to buy them so they can make money. Thousands of dogs are made each year by these mills, and because they make more dogs then they can sell an overpopulation of dogs begins to occur. A serious of conflict occurs from puppy mills. Since animals from stores are from breeding mills that means the mills are being supported to stay in business from anyone who buys a puppy from stores. Also since more people are buying from stores, less people are buying animals from a shelter therefore those animals have a higher chance of dying. Puppy mills also do not take care of the dogs whom are in their care. Some of the animals are abused very badly by these places. Female dogs are forced to reproduce every chance they can, and when they get to the point where they are physically no longer able to do so they get killed. There food is contaminated with algae or other bacteria that grows. (DoSomething.org) Also the living conditions they have the
Year after year people buy puppies from big breeders. Have you ever wondered where that puppy grew up? What kind of conditions the puppy lived in? Most puppies that someone would buy from a pet store are raised in puppy mills. Puppy mills are well-known for their “inhumane conditions” and the endless breeding of “unhealthy and genetically defective” dogs only for income. People should adopt rather than buy from a pet store or breeder. By adopting from a shelter, one could give a dog a second chance at a happy life.
With the holidays approaching, many young couples look into getting their better half a puppy for Christmas. But what they do not know is that puppy could have been bred in one of the most inhumane ways. Puppy mills are all over the United States, and the government has turned their cheeks to the horrors behind those barn doors.
To show, from A Closer Look At Puppy Mills, “To maximize profits, female dogs are bred at every opportunity with little to no recovery time between litters. When they are physically depleted to the point that they no longer can reproduce, breeding females are often killed” (ASPCA 4). According to, Caesar Milian and Melissa Peltier, animal experts, “lifespan of the breeding dogs is often cut in half.” To add on, the animals are in pens and cages that are not large enough for them. ( What is a Puppy Mill? 6). In the mills the puppies are overcrowded in small spaces. Puppies need the room to exercise and have to room to be comfortable. Moreover, “ In some cases, their matting and confinement are so extreme that their fur actually grows into the cage, pinning the dog in one spot.” Dogs can’t live just sitting in one spot. They do not have room to lie down, exercise, eat, etc. If the dogs even try to move, they can pull their fur out or cause pain. As well, the puppies are removed from their mothers when they are only about 7 weeks old. Then, ten or more puppies are crammed in a small cage to be transported causing the puppies to be scared and have many illnesses or conditions caused by neglect and stress (Puppy Mills, Pet Shops, and the AKC Basic Facts 6). When the puppies are 7 weeks old, they should be with their mother and their littermates. The puppies are still learning at 7 weeks old and they miss out. When they go home with their owners they could end up being nippy or not socializing
First, puppy mills are inhumane. According to the video “Puppies Are Not Toys,” puppy mill dogs are like plush dog toys. They are “manufactured with others” meaning that they are basically mass-produced like the plush toys and when they receive no attention they become like the toy that nobody wanted to buy (ASPCA).
Everyone loves puppies. Adjectives like cute, cuddly, adorable, and innocent are used to describe them. Sadly, the way they come into this world can be described as nothing short of ugly, premeditated and negligent. There are those who treat “man’s best friend” as though they were man’s worst enemy. Those people are in the business of manufacturing puppies by the millions, for millions. These particular manufacturing facilities they own and run are called “puppy mills”, where dogs and puppies are forced to live in the most inhumane, despicable conditions, far greater than prisoners of war or the worst criminals in our nation’s prisons have endured, causing inevitable high mortality rates. Of the six million puppies bred in puppy mills in the US annually, four to five million of them don’t survive. Everyday, eleven thousand cute, cuddly, adorable, and innocent puppies die due to these ugly, premeditated and negligent breeding procedures. Puppy mills should be shut down and made illegal until such time that strict laws are put into place to control and enforce humane breeding and living conditions, protecting the welfare of these dogs, and drastically lessening their mortality rate and the way puppy mill owners make their living.
Puppy mills are mass breeding facilities that show little to no care for animals. They are created so companies can breed animals to make purebreds. The animals are not well taken care of and many of them die from either disease or giving birth too many times in their life span. There should be laws and guidelines to regulate the operation of puppy mill facilities. Puppy mills bring torture to animals and need to be stopped.

Animals are used in research to develop new medicines and for scientists to test the safety of the medicines. This animal testing is called vivisection. Research is being carried out at universities, medical schools and even in primary and elementary schools as well as in commercial facilities which provide animal experiments to industry. (UK Parliament) In addition, animals are also used in cosmetic testing, toxicology tests, “defense research” and “xenotransplantation”. All around the world, a huge amount of animals are sentenced to life in a laboratory cage and they are obliged to feel loneliness and pain. In addition scientists causing pain, most drugs that pas successfully in animals fail in humans. It is qualified as a bad science. Above all, animals have rights not to be harmed even though the Animal Welfare Act does not provide them even with minimal protection. The law does not find it necessary to use current alternatives to animals, even if they are obtainable. Animal testing should be banned due to animal rights, ethical issues, alternative ways and the unreliability of test results in humans.
